The Saddest News.

Normally I wouldn't post such sad news, but Judy and Tony have shared their journey with all of us over the past year and we all care so much about this wonderful couple. Here is Judy's email...

Hi all,

It is with much sadness that I send this email. Tony died today at 12:35 PM. (July 21)

He remained determined to grab as much life as he could, lasting longer than the hospice crew expected and of course was still flirting with the nurses who came to check on him. And he was kidding around about scuba diving sometime later this week :o)

He just always seemed to pull from some reserve, that extra bit of 'umph' to live a bit longer. We are certain it was due in part to the many prayers, wonderful emails and continuous out-pouring of love from not only our 'old friends', but from all of our 'new friends' at Sandpiper's.

He died peacefully at his sister's home, the two of us by his side. He was comfortable, pain free, and ready to go.

Take care and thanks again for everything.

Judy
